JEHOVAH TAILOREEE...THE LORD THAT FIXES ME!

On Saturday I urgently needed to fix my suit trouser as I have to appear stunning for the wedding ceremony I was to anchor that day. I took the cloth to my tailor and asked him to fix the LITTLE opening near the pocket. The guy turned the cloth inside out and then began to TEAR the pocket with his hands. I shouted immediately, "Oga, you are tearing my cloth, I said sew, not tear..."

But in a calm way and manner, he replied "I KNOW".

Those two words sank into me like a heavy stone sinks in water and I went mute.

Yea, customers are always right, but a customer telling you "you don't know your job, go and shut down business" is not right. He's the tailor, and I'm just a customer. Even though I couldn't relate tearing with sewing but the Tailor says "I KNOW".

God is saying to you today, "I KNOW". He can hear all your complaints and He knows all you are going through.

Father, my fiancée just left me... "I KNOW"

I have no man to pay my fees... "I KNOW"

I was rejected at the embassy again... "I KNOW"

I have been jobless for many years... "I KNOW"

So many times when the Lord is fixing us, He starts by 'tearing' us - tearing our confidence in ourselves, tearing all our philosophies, tearing our pride and fake humility, tearing the things we call dear and giving us the truly dear things etc. He breaks us down to remould/refurbish us.

The only thing necessary is wisdom. The wisdom to know when it is the Lord, and when it isn't the Lord.

The devil tears to kill, God tears to fix. God tears the old to give you the new. So in reality, God tears no man, He only makes.

We call it tearing, He calls it making. We call it breaking, He calls it building. He knows you have need even before you ask. That's why when we complain. He responds thus: "I KNOW"

"For 'I KNOW' the thoughts that I think toward you, saith the LORD, thoughts of peace, and not of evil, to give you an expected end." - Jeremiah 29:11

My cloth came out better after the tailor was through with it. You will also come out better. Trust in Him.
